Outlook in AEasaa

SAN Francisco, Aug. S.-J. II. Dag
gett. President of the Mcclellan Fishing
and Trading Company, has returned
from Alaska. He states that when he
left, on July 2lst, the outlook for fav-
orable seasons work in the sealing, cod
fishing and salmon packing businesses
was anything but flattering. 1t was
hoped at the beginning of this season
that the SchoOners would catch about
100000 Goldfish each. but the season was
within two weeks Of being closed when
Mr., Daggett left, and the schooner
Arago had reported but $4,000, the Dash
ing Wave 10000 and the Isabelle Gj,OOO.
None OF the others had been heard from.
The salmon did not run for several weeks
after tue usual time of the opening of
the canning season, and the sealars that
called at Pirate Cove all repaired from
100 to 45O seals, except the Penelope
which had 1890. Everything is late this
year and the prospects are for hard
winter

HOSPITAL FOR THE SICK

Mrs. Janet Dalgardno seems to
have become quite a success in es-
tabli5hing a hospital for the care OF
sick and INDECENT poor. The site is
a pleasant and healthful location just
west of town, and the surroundings
and advantages are such that the in-
stitution cannot fail to become popu-
lar. 1t is learned that contracts will
be sought with adjoining counties
for maintaining their county charges
We feel like predicting a satisfactory
fulfillment of any such contract.
Mrs. Dalgardno can care for patients
at low cost, and give them the best
of treatment.

about allowing that steamer to run on

been accomplished long ago. We have
protested loudly, as did the Whatcom

The State Prisoners.

Judge 1'cbbs, of Loudoun county, yesterday or
dered Commonwealth Attorney McCabe to pro-
coed in three coupon cases. McCabe being one of
the parties in contempt of Judge Bonds court
stated that while he did not think Judge Bond
had jurisdiction in the matter in which he issued
the restraining order, he (Mccabe) did not wish
to appear rs defying that court. Judge Tebts re.
piled that he intended to do all in his power to
resist the action of usurpng courts; that he meant
that his orders to his court officers should be obey
cd, and thererpon ruled McCabe to appear Mt the
next term of the court 10 show cause why he
should not DO puuis he'd Mr. McC.bc by request,
met tho q. S. Marshal in Washington yesterday,
and in his custody went to Richmond last night.
The two went to jail and visited prisoners Ayers
and Scott, and then left to spend the night at
hotel.
Referring to the application to the U. s. Su-
p.eme Court of Attorney General Ayers counsel
for wit of habcas corpus Mr.. w. i. Royal, coun-
sci for the foreign bondhodors, says: Even if
Inc writ is issued it does not follow because the
writ is issued that the prisoners will be discharg
ed. The issuing of the writ is moro til an the
bringing of the prisoner before the court that it
may hear argument and determine whether he is
unlawfully held. Tho Supreme Court may pcs
sibly Issue the writ and hear what Mr.. Ayers has
to say, but l have no idea whatever that it will
discharge him. It will no doub: remand him in
to the custody of the marshal. II Judge Bonds
decision is allowed to stand unmolested he will
be SD c to force the State to make some arrange
ment satisfactory to her creditors" As to the
probable effect Judge Bonds action will have on
tho political campaign, Mr. Royal said: Il had
rather notsuggest any conf lecture in that respect
